Re: race for fullback : Wed Dec 28, 2011 5:38 pm
Rettie and Worrincy are not similar players. Worrincy scored 25 tries last season, im not sure Rettie made double figures (similar I guess in terms of taking the ball in hard and getting quick plays but certainly not similar in the threat in attack!). Worrincy is still the best winger at the club, he should have had two tries the other day - White should have put him in the corner but was greedy and Nanyn should have picked the ball up instead of being lazy with his rubbish grubbers, that just slowed everyone down except the defender, and Rob would have been under the sticks. The knock on was a mind slip as im sure the understanding with White at fullback wasn't clicking so there was a bit of indicisiveness as to who was taking the ball, and he offloaded well in the tackle early on after diffusing a bomb under the pressure of 3 only for Whitey to knock on. Personally, he should have Tyrer as his centre.
